- Evolution of Native Cultures Through archaeological study we
have pieced together the development of native cultures that
inhabited Georgia prior to European contact. Early people are
identified by cultural periods based on their hunting, eating, and
group behavior. Paleo, Archaic, Woodland and Mississippian
- Slide 3
- Paleo Indians Earliest people (paleolithic age) Lived until
about 10,000 years ago, prior to 8000 B.C. People lived in groups
of 25-50 people Nomadic hunters that followed herds Used wooden
spears and Clovis points Diet included bison, mammoths, ground
sloths and mastodons

1000 B.C. Hunted smaller game like deer, bear, turkey, rabbit, and
fish Used smaller spears, stone points; invented choppers, drills
and other tools from deer antlers; and fish hooks from animal bones
Moved during the different seasons to collect berries, nuts and
fruit Less nomadic and began to save seeds for cultivation of
plants and trees

settle and explore Georgia De Sotos soldiers kept journals of their
exploration and contact with native people Brought diseases that
killed more than of the native people Created missions along the
barrier islands

- Spain (1540-1600) Wants to colonize Southeast: God: convert
Indians to Christianity Gold: find riches and return to Europe
Glory: keep rival European powers from claiming the land. (not
